Yao Ming BREAKS his foot.

[Andrew]

Good point. It may not be career threatening (or as likely to be career threatening as first thought) but it's still a big setback.

The good thing is that he won't have to play for the Chinese national team and that he'll be able to work on his upper body in the gym.

- It's a bad thing China won't have Yao for Worlds... that's terrible... it only happens every 4 years...

I'm from Slovenia, so it's a good thing from where I'm standing .

For him on a fitness type of thing, its good. He can take time to rest his body. From a point of view of yao, I think he is very loyal to China and was looking forward to playing at Worlds. So its a bit of a knock on him to miss out. Its sorta like... if Slovenia made the World Cup in Soccer and you been trying hard to get there with ur team and u get injured... u'd feel real bad yeah?

[Fenix]

I don't give a damn about soccer, so no. But for our national basketball team, I wish the whole frikkin' USA team and everyone else break their feet.

[Fresh8]

^^ Ok... well, if Slovenia made it for some unknown reason and u were on the team and broke ur foot and miss out.. u'd be pretty pissed aye?

[Earendil]

Slovenia actually made it dude... we're up againts USA, China and i don't know who else in the group stage...
